Police forces: ‘We won’t employ people who say men can’t become women’
from The Christian Institute:
Two police forces have come under fire after telling a serving police officer posing as a job applicant she would not get a job with them because of her “gender critical” views.
When she stated her belief that it is not possible to change biological sex, both the Norfolk Constabulary and another in the South East told her she would be unsuitable, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The barrier to employment was revealed by a police officer with 16 years experience, after she emailed police forces with vacancies posing as a potential job applicant.
‘Outraged’
In her email, the anonymous officer wrote: “I must point out that I am gender critical, which means that whilst I am firmly against abuse and discrimination to trans people, I do not believe you can change your biological sex.”
Of the 14 forces that responded, Norfolk and her own constabulary in the South East indicated she would not be successful because of her views.
Norfolk told her she “would not be suitable”. Her own constabulary said this contradicted “the behaviours expected” and an application “would be not successful”.
She responded, saying: “I’m monumentally outraged that you couldn’t get a job doing what I do, and that my own job is in danger, because of what I believe – which is a belief that I think most people in this country hold.”
